The Goddess Party

HAPPY SPRING EVERYONE !!!

The party was wonderful, Nikki I so wish you could have been there. We all met at my favorite restaurant, The Golden Buddha http://www.goldenbuddhaphx.com/. I love it there so much. We had a nice dinner, and everyone got to know each other. We sat right by the back window by the balcony and the pond. There was someone playing the piano. We stayed from about 7:45 till about 9. Then we all went to my house. Our little procession from the restaurant, traveling one whole half a mile to my house managed to lose Jenn at a red light. But I called her and she found my house. We went outside to the back yard, I had dry ice with lots of "smoke", and candles. It was extremely windy. The candle wouldn't stay lit. I was a little upset about this, but Heather thought the wind was wonderful. Perfect I think was the word she used. And when I think about it, it was perfect. Very windy. I thought my canopy was going to blow over. Heather W brought me a present. A little bag with a wonderful book bag with a wiccan symbol on it, a windchime with little pentagrams on it, and a spell casting candle. She got everything in Sedona. It makes me feel so good that she would think of me. I love all of the things.So I got out the wine and the chocolate and started the fire and we sat and talked for a little while. The kids were so curious, I let them come out for awhile. Lyndsey sat in the window and watched for a long time. I let her help a little, and let her come outside and sit with us for awhile. Then she went to my mom's for the night. And Ryan was so excited about the party for days. He had been saying he was the "Giver" of the party with me. So he kept coming up to me saying, "Mom, I'm the Giver." He helped alot. He brought sodas to us, got more wine, and just helped in general. It made him so happy. I don't want to be one of those moms that sequester their kids to their rooms when Mommy's friends come over. So the kids got to stay for awhile.I gave everyone the little "books" I had made (info on henna, tarot,the Equinox, etc). Then after a little while I did a tarot reading on Heather M. I am so glad that she was still pregnant and got to come. She was over 36 weeks at that point, ( 8 months), and ready to go. I am so glad she was able to come. We did the reading a little different too, I didn't know the question. This is a very interesting technique - this way I can't read anything into it. And she said it was very accurate. It was really weird, the whole time we were doing tarot the wind was blowing violently. We actually had to hold the cards down with pieces of chocolate. As soon as we stopped it stopped. A little while later, maybe 90 minuts later, we picked up the deck to do another reading, this time on Heather W, and the wind started up again. Weird.No one else had a question, so Jenn did a past life reading on Heather M also. Which also turned out to be very strange. We drank more wine, talked some more, got to know each other better. Loida had to leave after a little while, actually it was probably about 1 am. We chatted a little more. Jenn left after that cause she had to catch a plane the next day. Then we did henna tattoos. I did one on Heather M's arm, Heather W's leg, and Sydney's arm. The all turned out pretty good. Royce came out every so often and joined us. At about 1:30 we did out spells. Both Heathers did one. It was the spell to strengthen the bond between you and your kids. It was very dark, and so perfect. They got to take the little charm home. I walked them both out to their cars and gave hugs and said goodbye. Then Matt and Tyler and Sydney helped me clean up a little.

Royce was so wonderful. He watched all 8 kids, mine and Loida's, kept them quiet and got them pizza. He is so wonderful. Thank you so much Royce for helping me have my party.

The whole night was wonderful. A whole celebration of friends and femaleness and wine and spirituality. I just wish Robin and Nikki could have come. I'm glad that Loida got to meet Jenn and the Heathers, that I got to see Heather W - it has been SO long, that Heather M got to have a nice night with me before she has her baby, and that I got to see Jenn outside of work.

Everything was windy, mysitcal, cloudy, dark, warm, intoxicating, magical and sensual.

I am going to do another one at the Autumnal Equinox. I'm already thinking about it.

I took pictures and will post them here when I get them developed.

I love my friends. Next to my family, they are my greatest posession.
